Rather than just say something cute like "it depends...."... let me just throw out some food for thought...
Magazine, or single load? (Semi/Full Auto?)
Known bullet and chamber combination. or totally unknown?
Sporting carry rifle, or match gun?
Secant, tangent, or hybrid?
You see my point? I am not a good writer and it is hard to convey why the context for your question is very important. Without context, your answers will run all over the map.
Sometimes, jam is appropriate and we have a rough charge in mind based on several barrels and tribal knowledge from our fellow competitors. In that context, we start with seating depth and then cycle back and forth to charge and verify that first seating depth.
In other context, we need jump in order to eject a loaded round, so we may start with powder charge and jump 0.020", then when we find a good charge we circle back to investigate jump.
There is no single answer to this because there is no single context.
